Would you say that art is a form of 'soft power'?

"I would even go so far as to say that art is the ultimate 'soft power'! Because what is it really? It is something beyond facts, beyond black and white. It is something in between. 'Soft power' is something that is actually worth striving for, that allows dreams, that allows hope, that allows change. And in this sense, art is perhaps the best embodiment."
